Synopsis

A fabled genius at killing resides somewhere hidden in Osaka. Taught since childhood to obey the orders of his boss, he is ordered to live in Osaka as a normal person for one year in order for his boss to lay low.

Characters

A professional hitman having to live as a normal person for 1 year, already original. My first impression was quite good, interesting story and introduction of the main character Fable, who is quite the badass. This is going to be a simple review as not much is currently out for The Fable in English.

Story: 9
The story struck me before I had even read because of its originality and it's a seinen which makes it semi-serious and appealing to the older demographic but still has its satire going with the story.

Art: 7
The art varies to me as at some points it is very well drawn and
human-like but also seems to be traced or looks like it was made with Clip Studio Paint. (not entirely a bad thing.) Heard Gantz did something similar.

Characters: 9
Fable being introduced was already cool but he's also hilarious in his own way with his mistakes as a normal person and how he solves certain situations and issues and is of course as explained in the manga, a genius.

Enjoyment: 9
Overall a really great manga and has good comedy to back up the seinen genre with a great main character and an original story made me really enjoy this underrated and mostly unknown manga.

Although the concept isn't exactly original or anything I think the only time I've seen this in manga or anime format and have the story revolve around it completely not one episode or just a few chapters would be Full Metal Panic.

There honestly isn't much to talk about as it's only at 8 chapters, in English anyways, so i'll be lazy and list off what I like and don't like about it so far

The art, an easy 6. The art isn't particularly bad or good, which is the problem. It's somewhat boring and lackluster but you can tell what everything is supposed to be
and does it's job. Just wish the environment and characters had a bit more to them I guess.

The Character, oh man the character. The characters are fine, nothing special but I like them so far but there is just one thing teeny tiny thing that irks me about the MC and that's his obnoxious and extremely over reaction to any and all forms of "comedy". I get that it's supposed to be a joke and give you a good ole chuckle between all the serious shit that goes down but I seriously don't get it, I don't find it humorous or anything at all, In fact I find it annoying and dumb but it doesn't really subtract from the story or interfere with the plot so far so I guess it's just a minor nitpick from me. I guess it's just one of those Japanese gags that you just don't get when you're foreign. 5/10 in the character department from me

I enjoy the series so far, I would give it an overall rating of 5/10. Keep in mind, a 5 isn't bad it's just average and that's fine. The story so far is rather, well, boring? I feel like that's to harsh of a word but I'm not gonna sit and here and try to think of anything else. Who knows, maybe in the next few chapters we can get some action and things will heat up but as of now the past 8 chapters have left on the fence about this manga. It could be good, It could be bad. We'll just have to wait to find out, maybe my review has convinced you to pick it, maybe it's convinced you to not pick it up but either way I hope you found my review helpful
